Don’t Apple devices have the ability to take photos of thieves stealing the device? Surely the camera indicator won‘t turn on in such a case, right?
I have never heard of such a thing and honestly it would be pretty impractical in case of, say, a macbook which has quite limited view of its surroundings (e.g. you close it).
What apple (and samsung, etc) does is not let the thief actually power off the device without a password, so until the battery lasts it can share its location via some way to the owner.

I could be completely wrong.
